PC Gaming Weekly: Why we think PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is special

One of the hottest games on Steam right now shows why the PC platform is so ideal for experimenting with different forms of gameplay.

GamesBeat has become enamored with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. This is a battle royale game, where a group of up to 100 players find themselves jumping out of an airplane and onto an island full of weapons, vehicles … and bloodthirsty gamers. Your goal is to outlast everyone else, either by killing or avoiding them, in an ever-shrinking playing zone. In recent weeks, you could find 100,000 or more people playing it at the same time on Steam.
